Two
things can cause static.
First,
If you have your speakers turned up to high it will give you feedback causing
distortion and static.
Second
reason is, if you are using a laptop and have added an external microphone
between the two it will cause distortion and static.
Not
knowing the configuration of your computer makes it harder to analyze the
problem.
So
hope this is of some help. Bud

Hello,Is the microphone built into this webcam? If it is are you using this as the microphone while in Skype? If you open Skype and go to options and then tools you can select which microphone that Skype uses. Please update with answers so I can help further.

Its not due to the laptop, the other person is viewing you on the internet (Yahoo/Msn etc) so the Video might get frozen sometimes or may be a lot many times depending on the bandwidth or the server load.

The voice is due to the microphone you are using, you can use microphone with noise reduction technology with some noise reduction utility.

When you are in a call, find the little down arrow beside the call time near the bottom of the call window. Choose Sound Settings...
Find the green volume indicator under Microphone and make some
noise. If it lights up and moves, your mic is working fine. Adjust the
volume of the microphone by dragging the speaker slider left or right.
If the indicator doesn't move or light up, try choosing another
device from the Speakers dropdown list. If you still can't make
yourself heard, repeat this for all the devices.

what make, model, motherboard, and sound card are you using on your computer. I understand your desire to know why the system would not be working otherwise.. What kind of microphone other then the headset are you using and do you have every reason to believe said microphone is a good mic?

That black disc is the "backup" alarm if you lose power.... The battery then takes over and "buzzs" throught that little speaker too wake you... even tho there is no power... Mine buzzes too... cut that little speaker outta there.!
